Thanks everyone

Im considering some bushwhacker pocket flares because I already have a rock chip. Need to let the bank account recover a bit first.

Ill try to get some pics of the lights soon.

Truck is flawless, love it...and a lil jealous.
That may be the funniest, best compliment I've ever gotten on a vehicle. Lol

Here's a few horrible phone pics of the lights at night. Colors are represented fairly well but the glare is intensified from the poor camera. 6000k hid heads, silverstar fogs, Hella 700's with 9005 yellow bulbs.

Really digging the setup of the lights in the grille. Have any pics of how you have them mounted? Also, does it give pretty good lighting, or is it spotty from the grille? Thanks for the info in advance buddy.

Here are a couple pics, not sure how much they'll help since I can't show the metal I took the dremel to for clearance on the backside of the lights.





The light output is really good, they are mostly spot beams but I have them mounted so they shine about 15 feet in front of the low beams and they are bright enough they also act as a high beam.

Thanks!

The 3:73's do ok for now, eventually I'll throw some 4:56 gears and a programmer. Still a lot of mods I want to do yet.

I pulled them apart and tinted the reflector, painted the chrome surround and parking light/turn signal section with a gloss black plastic paint.

The HID retrofit is also on the list of mods.

Future mods:

Remote Start
4:56 gears w/ rear locker
Programmer
HID retrofit
Tinted windshield
Tow Mirrors
Custom Bed mounted spare tire carrier. Going to buy a 5th Fuel Hostage and 35" Nitto.

I'm sure there will be much more but for now that's on the list.

Next weekend I'll detail the truck and put on a sealant before winter. While I'm at it I'll probably clean up the under side of the truck and paint it black.

96grim, the tires and wheels look freaking great !

But even more importantly, your truck looks great !!! And this, coming from a guy who really never liked 09-11's....
Your front end looks SOOO much better blacked out though.

Only thing I still don't like on 09-11's, is the tail gate, but your shaded tails help.

Anyway, just about one of the best looking "post" 08 F150's I've seen

Fish

PS, Oh yea.... And it's a Supercab too ! Finally somebody who knows what the proper cab to bed ratio size should be, to make a truck, look like a truck !!!! LOL
